Waiting for your Soul


Day by day,

Night by night,

It eats away at the soul thats left.

You're weary, 

and worn.

Life short lived ,

hardly living at all.

Don't go so soon ,

please stay a while longer 

for me, for her , for all of us still here on the ground.

It's so unfair 

try just once ,

strive , for yourself

fight, for nothing 

come back to us,

sad soul

You're not alone,

right here we stand ,

by your side 

no matter how alone you feel,

you'll never be

so please come back,

soon, if it pleases your soul

we'll be waiting ,

every day until then 

so don't stray too far.

You old weary soul...

I'm still here, praying.

So take your time
